It would be helpful if you posted a photo of the fruit or the mature plant, it should be around 12 foot tall.

Migael has been growing his for a full season and it's probably in the 7 to 10 foot range by now.
My entire collection is for the purpose of seeing which varieties can even survive my microclimate- At this point I doubt I'll ever get fruit or full grown plants. We rarely have days up in the 80's (even in the middle of the summer) and usually get several freezes per year. Take a look in my gallery for pics, you won't see anything more than about 2 feet tall... it is a painful addiction, but my hope is to sort out differences based on raised beds (we get a lot of rain, and the ground is wet and cold 6 months of the year), unheated greenhouse, and large pots to see whether I can get any variety to acclimate and survive (thrive?) other than basjoo (which freezes to the ground but comes back each year).
